As Egyptians of all factions prepare to demonstrate in mass against the Muslim Brotherhood and President Morsi’s rule on June 30, the latter has been trying to reduce their numbers, which some predict will be in the millions and eclipse the Tahrir protests that earlier ousted Mubarak. Among other influential Egyptians, Morsi recently called on Coptic Christian Pope Tawadros II to urge his flock, Egypt’s millions of Christians, not to join the June 30 protests.

While that may be expected, more troubling is that the U.S. ambassador to Egypt is also trying to prevent Egyptians from protesting—including the Copts. The June 18th edition of Sadi al-Balad reports that lawyer Ramses Naggar, the Coptic Church’s legal counsel, said that during Patterson’s June 17 meeting with Pope Tawadros, she “asked him to urge the Copts not to participate” in the demonstrations against Morsi and the Brotherhood.

The Pope politely informed her that his spiritual authority over the Copts does not extend to political matters.

This is a new world view that we older Americans are not familiar with. It's evidently the product of the younger American's reaction to American exceptionalism. This new order is foreign to us and it is in defiance of our traditional values of freedom, liberty and justice for all. We used to hold these values high in the face of human rights violations from our "allies". Are we going to stand up for these values anymore? I guess not. We won't offend. Not from this administration at least. I wonder if we'll ever rediscover what we once had. Seems like it has vanished, honestly. Romeny's defeat seemed like a vision lost moment.

So if we can get the Coptic Christians to lie down and die silently that will work better for all concerned, won't it? We can no longer be counted on to stand against oppression and injustice. Well that is, if the perps if it have the wrong headers we will turn a blind eye toward their infractions. We've become this distorted vision of freedom liberty and justice. Actually it is the very antithesis of MLK Jr.'s dream for America.

I hate it.

Isn't "bless us with your silence" a polite way of saying STFU!!! ???

Personally, I think this is further proof that Obama is waging a war on Christianity in favor of Islam.
